Ok, so this week we looked at fast, Bo Diddley-based grooves. The first one we looked at was 'Town Called Malice' - The Jam. There are two grooves to deal with - Groove 1 is from the Intro (after the bass riff) and from the Chorus, Groove 2 is from the verse - play is straight NOT swung!
The second song we looked at was the classic - 'Can't Hurry Love' - Phil Collins. It's very similar to the Intro / Chorus groove above - with the addition of a bass drum on 3 of the second bar.
The third groove we looked at was 'Valerie' - Amy Winehouse / Mark Ronson. Slight change but again the same 'feel' and tempo.
Thanks for this it really helps. Thoroughly enjoyed the lesson last night - cant wait for the next one after half term :)
